Comment out lines in multiple .htaccess files in multiple directories

I need to comment out specific lines in .htaccess files for many different websites on a server.

The .htaccess files are in directories like this:

/home/siteA/public_html/.htaccess

/home/siteB/public_html/.htaccess

and so on...

these are the blocks of code I want to comment out from all .htaccess files:

<IfModule mod_suphp.c>
suPHP_ConfigPath /home/bcrunch
<Files php.ini>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>
</IfModule>

<Files ".user.ini">
<IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
    Require all denied
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
</IfModule>
</Files>

Ive tried the following:

root@server [/home]# shopt -s globstar
root@server [/home]# sed -i.bak -r '/<IfModule     mod_suphp\.c>/,/<\/IfModule>/ s/^/#/; /<Files 
"\.user\.ini">/,/<\/Files>/ s/^/#/' **/.htaccess

Ive tested it on a test directory I made with other test sub dirs and test .htaccess files in with the above content and it worked fine but once I run this from /home where I have about 30+ sites it hangs for a long time and just starts using up more and more memory. The problem is that its searching recursively and as there are other .htaccess files in other directories that Im not interested in its just getting bogged down.

So how can I change the above code and tell it to ONLY make changes to all files like this?

/home/siteA/public_html/.htaccess

and ignore other .htacccess files?

Ive been trying to use various find searches but been having no luck so far.

You can use this sed:

sed '/<IfModule mod_suphp\.c>/,/<\/IfModule>/s/^/#/; /<Files "\.user\.ini">/,/<\/Files>/s/^/#/' file

Combined with find:

find /home/site*/public_html -name '.htaccess' -exec \
sed -i.bak '/<IfModule mod_suphp\.c>/,/<\/IfModule>/s/^/#/; /<Files "\.user\.ini">/,/<\/Files>/s/^/#/' {} \;
